MySunday vs macOS Dictation
Dictation is part of macOS: you speak to enter text anywhere you can type it.
MySunday lets you point at a paragraph, a cell or a slide in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, or at your web app, and say what you want. It answers, edits the document once you confirm the steps, or hands the change to the coding agent you already use. They do different jobs, and many people will want both.
macOS Dictation
What macOS Dictation is best at
- It is already on your Mac: turn it on in Keyboard settings and start with the Microphone key or a shortcut.
- It works anywhere you can type, and you can keep typing while you dictate.
- Automatic punctuation, spoken commands for punctuation, emoji and new lines, and several languages you can switch between.
- Keyboard settings tell you whether your dictation is processed on your device.
MySunday
Where MySunday fits
- MySunday is not a replacement for typing by voice. It acts on what you say about what you point at: in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides it answers or makes the edit once you confirm the steps, and on your web app it hands a task to your coding agent. It also puts text in a box you point at, on a website or in a Mac app, once you say yes.
- Pointing gives your words their meaning: “this” and “that” are what you picked, a paragraph, a cell, or an element on your app or a reference site.
- After the agent’s change, MySunday checks the page and shows a verification report.
Both
Use them together
- Use Dictation for quick text anywhere on your Mac. Use MySunday when you want a change made, in a document or on your web app, and can point at what you mean.
Side by side
The facts, briefly.
Each macOS Dictation fact links to the page on its own site where we read it.
| Compared | macOS Dictation | MySunday |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Speech-to-text built into macOS [source] | Point at something and say what you want. In Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, MySunday answers questions about it, or makes the edit once you confirm the steps, with no coding agent. On your web app, the coding agent you already use makes the change. It is not an editor and does not write code itself. |
| Input | Voice; you can keep typing while you dictate [source] | Voice: open microphone by hotkey, wake word or gesture, or a floating icon; pointing at elements in Chrome and at boxes in Mac apps; and typed text |
| Where it works | Anywhere you can type on your Mac [source] | Chrome and any Mac app: Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, your web app on localhost, reference sites, a selection in any app with the Ask hotkey, and any box you point at |
| What your words become | Text at the insertion point, with automatic punctuation [source] | Words about what you are pointing at: “this”, “that” and “here” resolve to the paragraph, cell, slide, element or box you pointed at |
| Languages | Several, switchable while you dictate; not available in all languages or regions [source] | Set in your preferences on the website |
| Platforms | macOS [source] | macOS 14 Sonoma or newer on Apple silicon, with the extension for Google Chrome |
| Pricing | Part of macOS [source] | Individual $2/month; Teams $20/month per workspace, unlimited users; both include plan credit. Your Claude Code or Codex runs on its own subscription. Trial (Individual accounts only): a free trial, its length and trial credit as shown on the pricing page when you start |
FAQ
Questions
Do I need MySunday if my Mac already has Dictation?
Only if you want changes made for you. Dictation enters text; MySunday combines your voice with what you point at: it edits Google Docs, Sheets and Slides once you confirm the steps, or sends a task to Claude Code or Codex and checks the result on your web app.
Can I use Dictation and MySunday on the same Mac?
Yes. MySunday uses its own push-to-talk shortcut, so pick one that differs from your Dictation shortcut.
Does MySunday replace Voice Control?
No. Voice Control operates your whole Mac by voice. MySunday changes what you point at: a box, a document, a sheet, a deck or the web app you are building.
Try MySunday next to macOS Dictation.
macOS app and Chrome extension. Your documents stay in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, where MySunday makes the edits you confirm; your code stays in your repository, where your own Claude Code or Codex makes the changes.
